Dozens of people were killed in the Israeli army’s air strike in southern Gaza. According to the Islamist Hamas, however, the army missed its target.
According to the organization, the leader of the Islamist Hamas in Gaza, Mohammed Deif, was not killed in the Israeli attack in the Gaza Strip. “Mohammed Deif is fine and continues to command the resistance against the Israeli enemy,” Hamas official Ali Barakeh told the German Press Agency in Beirut. Israel’s army said it attacked the leader of the military wing of Hamas west of Khan Yunis. Dozens of people were killed.
The Israeli army had previously announced that it was still investigating whether Deif and Rafa Salama, the commander of Hamas’ Khan Yunis Brigade, had been killed in the air strike. The two men were “masterminds of the October 7 massacre” on Israeli soil, it said. “There is still no absolute certainty,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a press conference in Tel Aviv.
